A report of an international collaborative experiment to demonstrate the uniformity obtainable using DNA profiling techniques
1992
This paper describes a collaborative exercise intended to demonstrate whether uniformity of DNA profile results could be achieved between different European laboratories. It was shown that this goal can be obtained provided that a common protocol is followed (specifically the use of a common electrophoretic buffer as being the most important parameter). Generally, lower molecular weight loci (with lower molecular weight fragments) such as YNH24 perform better than higher molecular weight loci such as MS43a. The results of the exercise are discussed in relation to the objectives of the European DNA profiling group (EDNAP).
Spatial econometrics and the hedonic pricing model: what about the temporal dimension
2014
Recent ready access to free software and toolbox applications is directly impacting spatial econometric modelling when working with geolocated data. Spatial econometric models are valuable tools for taking into account the possible latent structure of the price determination process and ensuring that the coefficients estimated are unbiased and efficient. However, mechanical applications can potentially bias estimated coefficients if spatial data is pooled over time because the applications consider the spatial dimension alone. Spatial models neglect the fact that data (e.g. real estate) may consist of a collection of spatial data pooled over time, and that time relations generate a unidirec…
Stochastic dynamical modelling of spot freight rates
2014
Based on empirical analysis of the Capesize and Panamax indices, we propose different continuous-time stochastic processes to model their dynamics. The models go beyond the standard geometric Brownian motion, and incorporate observed effects like heavy-tailed returns, stochastic volatility and memory. In particular, we suggest stochastic dynamics based on exponential Levy processes with normal inverse Gaussian distributed logarithmic returns. The Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard stochastic volatility model is shown to capture time-varying volatility in the data. Finally, continuous-time autoregressive processes provide a class of models sufficiently rich to incorporate short-term persistence …

Spatial autocorrelation and the selection of simultaneous autoregressive models
2007
Aim Spatial autocorrelation is a frequent phenomenon in ecological data and can affect estimates of model coefficients and inference from statistical models. Here, we test the performance of three different simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) model types (spatial error = SAR err , lagged = SAR lag and mixed = SAR mix ) and common ordinary least squares (OLS) regression when accounting for spatial autocorrelation in species distribution data using four artificial data sets with known (but different) spatial autocorrelation structures. Methods We evaluate the performance of SAR models by examining spatial patterns in model residuals (with correlograms and residual maps), by comparing model para…
Granger causality analysis of sleep brain-heart interactions
2014
We studied the networks of Granger causality (GC) between the time series of cardiac vagal autonomic activity and brain wave activities, measured respectively as the normalized high frequency (HF) component of heart rate variability and EEG power in the δ, θ, α, Ï, β bands, computed in 10 healthy subjects during sleep. GC analysis was performed by vector autoregressive modeling, and significance of each link in the network was assessed using F-statistics. The whole-night analysis revealed the existence of a fully connected network of brain-heart and brain-brain interactions, with the à EEG power acting as a hub which conveys the largest number of GC links between the heart and brain n…
Investoru sentiments sociālajos medijos kā akciju cenu un tirdzniecības apjoma ietekmējošais faktors
2021
Pētījuma mērķis ir novērtēt investoru sentimentu sociālajos tīklos un pārliecināties vai investoru sentiments statistiski nozīmīgi ietekmē akciju cenu un tirdzniecības apjoma izmaiņu.

Processi di autoregolazione dell'apprendimento e didattica orientativa. Learning Self-Regulation Processes and Guidance Didactics
2015
L'orientamento inteso come capacità di auto-dirigere se stessi nello studio e nel lavoro, in tutto il corso della propria vita, implica la necessità di sviluppare un complesso di competenze strategiche che risultano essere fondamentali per affrontare con successo il complesso quadro delle trasformazioni che investono il mondo del lavoro e della formazione. Il contributo affronta il rilievo delle capacità di autoregolazione nei processi di orientamento e presenta due metodologie (ALM e ADVP) utili a promuovere negli studenti della scuola secondaria l'autovalutazione di alcune competenze che sono alla base della capacità di dirigere se stessi nello studio e nel lavoro. Guidance, in the sense …
Psychometric Comparisons of Benevolent and Corrective Humor across 22 Countries: The Virtue Gap in Humor Goes International
2018
Recently, two instances of virtue-related humor: benevolent and corrective, have been introduced. Benevolent humor treats human weaknesses and wrongdoings benevolently, while corrective humor aims at correcting and bettering them. Twelve marker items for benevolent and corrective humor (BenCor) were developed, and it was demonstrated that they fill the gap between humor as temperament and virtue. The present study investigates responses to the BenCor from 25 samples in 22 countries (overall N = 7, 226). The psychometric properties of the BenCor were found to be sufficient in most of the samples, including internal consistency, unidimensionality, and factorial validity. Importantly, benevole…
